Question

BOUGHT PHOTOSHOP FOR MAC, CAN I USE IT ON WINDOWS?

Hello.

I have Photoshop's basic Photography 20GB plan. I originally bought it for use on my MacBook, but I do *not* have the MacBook anymore as I switched to a Windows laptop; can I install Photoshop on said laptop? If it helps, the MacBook is gone because I sold it which means Photoshop and all Creative Cloud-related things were unistalled and completely removed from it beforehand. 
Thank you so much and have a great Sunday.

yes, you can use on a pc, too.

 

you can install the cc desktop app from here https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud on as many computers as you own and use it to install all (or some, if you want) of your cc subscription programs. the only (insignificant for internet connected computers) limitation is that you can sign-in (and therefore start your adobe programs) on, at most, two computers at any one time.  

 

because you can sign out from either (or both) signed-in computers using a 3rd computer, this could not (imo) be easier.

I seriously doubt an Adobe Support rep would tell me something wrong, and in fact you can only install CC apps on 2 devices.

that's incorrect IF you assume installation is limited to two devices
